I'd like to see those Enkie SST1's photoshopped onto your car. Something tells me they would look both sporty and elegant on a 'bird. The Mas Italy Axel's are just too much like a lot of other wheels, though you can't go wrong with hardly any plain 5 spoke wheel. The Mas Italy Sagitta's.... puke. Those belong on BMW's and such.

funny you mention BMW. The only reason they are an option is because they have backspacing for 5 series BMW and 120mm bolt circle that are both about the same as ours. To make the Mas rims fit thirdgens they said they'd custom drill the 120.65 mm bolt circle we need. Downside is that they aren't any wider than 8" in the 17" wheel size. The Enkei's would be 17x8 and 17x10 or 17x8 all around.

My votes for the Axel's, the SST1's are too "busy" and the Saggitas look too importish.

Having seen those Enkei SST1's photoshoped onto Rosh's car here, I say definate go for those. They just look so sophicated and smooth on a firebird body. Don't think I'd put them on a Camaro though.

adding 1 more. I asked about these when I went in to check about the enkei's. He quoted a very good price:

I vote for the Mas Italy Axel's. The Enkei SST1's look like giant snowflakes, and like PaceCarChris said, the Mas Italy Sagitta's look like they're more appropriate for an import. As for the American Racing Longboards, I don't care for the fastener heads where the spoke meets the rim.
